Here’s a query: will you miss listening to the likes of Jeremih or Katy Perry should they were no longer on the radio? In the event you answered yes, you happen to be either a) a 15 year old girl or B) someone who dons shades indoors. Should you undoubtedly answered no, you’re probably one of the millions of silent Americans who don’t fully realize where to turn when it comes to discovering music which truly has a message as well as speaks to matters close to them (have you kissed a girl and did you like it?)

Pop Musicians are really a dime a dozen and for the most part will be cranking out songs such as factories crank out car parts or fast food restaurants crank out hamburgers. Wouldn’t it be great to provide ourselves some variety, specifically something that spoke to the lifestyle of gamers? Nerdcore doesn’t pretend to be pop music, as well as that’s why it had success amongst individuals who are searching for something diverse. It’s music that is unique, has a message, and a ton of unheard of music artists who happen to be talented yet not known. I do believe it’s time we gave Nerdcore some more “air-time.”

Listed here are six Pop Musicians who should be replaced by Nerdcore Music artists:

Nerdcore Artist: Dual Core

Replacing: New Boyz

Although switching the “S” in boys to “Z” teeters dangerously close to 1337sp34K, this band of youngsters not lawfully old enough to purchase Goldschlager, would be forgotten by merely a few individuals, probably beginning with Ray J as well as concluding with the artist’s mother and father. Their number 1 song on iTunes speaks volumes regarding how excellent of a contribution the band has made to music:

I Met a group of girls in a Escalade

I Met a group of girls in a Escalade

Met met a group of girls in a Escalade

They came with you and left with me

It is considered the lyrics were inspired by a combination of John Lennon’s sound as well as a dream Ozzy Osbourne had. Nerdcore rise-up…

Nerdcore Artist: Optimus Rhyme

Replacing: P Diddy/Puff Daddy/Daddy Puff/The guy from those perfume advertisements

P Diddy is pretty the anomaly. The Puff Daddy and the Family lp continues to be among my favorites even now, as well as the epic Mo’ Money single with Mase (when was the last time you heard that man’s name?) is still among the most remarkable music videos of the 1990′s.

P Diddy is actually a brand, a commodity…he’s just been smart enough to manage his brand and ensure he was the guy pulling the strings. His music has grown into more of a marketing tool, and he is much more replaceable than any musician not named Rebecca Black, even though somewhat much less original (at least she has her very own original songs).

Nerdcore Artist: MC Chris

Replacing: Nicki Minaj

In the most befuddling mystery ever since the Egyptian pyramids, Nicki Minaj is among the most profitable music artists of all-time. That’s based from the simple fact that she is the only musician to have seven songs in the Billboard Top 100 all at once. Look at yet another simple fact, though…all but one of those happen to be cameos to songs by Ludacris, Wayne, Trey Songz, Usher, Sean Kingston, as well as Jay Sean.

Can she survive on her own? Most likely. Must we have to consistently keep listening to find out. Here’s wishing we don’t have to…

Nerdcore Artist: YT Cracker

Replacing: Jeremih

I bet you imagined I was gonna propose replacing “Eminem” didn’t you? Yet that will have been, well, ridiculous. Eminem speaks his mind as well as doesn’t really care just what other individuals think…you’d have to believe that his massive success is tied directly to fan demand to have genuine artists…but the executives making the decisions must feel otherwise.

But, I digress, we’re replacing Jerimih, the man who likes birthday sex and wants you down on him. He’s incredibly popular, drives fancy vehicles and is a star. Hey, I’m sold…the question is, just how many more singles would it take to know that Jermih is a filthy rich superstar, until we stop caring?

I thought I told you Imma star

You see the ice, you see the cars

Flashy lights, everywhere we are,

Live tonight, like there’s no tomorrow

Painfully enough, we’re still finding out.

Nerdcore Artist: Beefy

Replacing: T-Pain

I always remember T-Pain’s debut single “I’m Sprung.” A track dedicated to his spouse, which actually offered some exclusive insight into the conflicting dynamics of (dare I mention it) love.

Yet now, T-Pain is known as that dude from the I’m on a Boat music video who evidently really likes money (like everyone else) and all he does is win, win, win…no matter what (like Charlie Sheen). He’d be very easy to replace – lose the autotune and make him put five grand in a bottle everytime he says the word money in a song and he’d be making beats for Ke$ha this time in a few days.

Nerdcore Artist: MC Frontalot

Replacing: will.i.am

He is Will. Not Will Smith. The one dude from the Black Eyed Peas that really speaks. He’s become one of the most notable producers/beat makers in the music industry. He’s a God amongst girls working on their treadmills, searching for that extra boost to get them going (try this in case you genuinely wish to go big) yet to anyone searching for genuine songs, he’ just another dude creating filler which rocks the hell out of a half-time show, yet doesn’t do it for anyone searching for a jolt of motivation or something that they could connect with (that’s what music is supposed to do, remember).

Stepped up in the party like my name was “that b***h”.

All these haters mad because I’m so established.

They know I’m a beast, yeah I’m a f**king savage

Haters you can kill yourself.

And so let it be written, let it be told…

But do not take my word for it, take a look at the video playlist and let me know if you believe the world is prepared for more Nerdcore.

The Jace Hall Show is an online reality webseries which features video game news and personas as well as interviews with film/tv/sports celebrities. It also has articles which features nerdcore music and nerdcore hip-hop.

I’ve been playing video games since I was a kid and I struggled for years with individuals who thought online games were stupid and action games made you chaotic. I regarded this an opportunity to present some knowledge into what gaming can really cover – passion, camaraderie and experiences you can’t get in the real world. ~ Ben Dressler

Let us admit it, the gamer way of life is something that not many people fully understand. /AFK The Movie looks at the life of a video gamer told to let go of the only thing he’s ever loved: World of Warcraft.

To individuals who do not play video games, that’s referred to as quitting. For hard-core gamers and MMORPG players worldwide, that’s known as “Euthanasia.”

The film examines what life is like moving away from the keyboard, to stop the sole thing you adore doing, simply because you realize that it controls all that you do. But, what’s the thin line between loving video games and being obsessed with them? Does it make a difference and should we actually care?

The subject matter of /AFK The Movie covers World of Warcraft and online gaming. But you do not need to know the difference between Horde and Alliance in order to connect with the movie. We are all hooked on something, be it cell phones, websites, video games, or chocolates (or a dangerous combination of all 4). Step “away from your mobile phone” for 1 day and see how you react. Is a cellular phone that much different than a video game? Why is one an addiction and the other is simply a habit?

I spoke with Ben Dressler, the filmmaker who made /Afk come to life.

What was the task like making the movie, and from his own point of view, what message was it trying to communicate to gamers and people telling so-called “addicts” they have to stop:

JHS: What inspired you to make the script? Did you feel as if you wanted to write something which can speak “for all WOW players?”

Two things. First of all, the feeling that no one had ever done this in the past. I believe it is truly rare that you have a concept that is kind of different and not actually on the market. When I first saw Memento I was so amazed that after decades of filmmaking, an individual could still think of something so inventive. Although we were not the first one to merge real live action and video game footage, I don’t know of any film who achieved it to the extent that we did.

Second, I wanted to make a stand for video gaming. I have been playing games since I was a kid and I struggled for a long time with individuals who considered online games were silly and action games made you chaotic. I regarded this an opportunity to present a few insight into what gaming really can be about – passion, companionship and experiences you can’t get in real life.

JHS: In your opinion, why do people feel the need to put down the “gamer” lifestyle?

I honestly believe that they just don’t know better. The lead character in /afk says at some point: “It’s not just me sitting in front of a coloured window.” But that’s exactly what individuals see every time they see someone “game.” They don’t see what you think, feel or experience as you play. I’ve had so many individuals that watched me play WoW and considered it was really uninteresting. But when I allow them to play for an hour or so, they would buy the game themselves. Thankfully, people who have gaming experience will grow into important positions like in journalism or politics. So eventually that tendency to look down on gamers will diminish from society, I am pretty optimistic on that.

JHS: You mentioned you basically had no budget because you could not make some money from the movie, What kind of constraints did that have on you as a moviemaker?

Since I knew there wouldn’t be a budget from the start, I could concentrate on producing a script that would work with few characters as well as locations. We had five days of shooting for a twenty-five minute motion picture with a very small crew. And since I did not like to rush the actors very much, there was short amount of time left for the camera and lighting team. We also could not afford to buy lots of props so we needed to work with what we got in our homes. The bedroom of the main character is basically made of geek things from 10 people combined.

It pretty much came down to pulling lots of favors and using to the best what was already there. I’m sure if you choose to work with that constraint, it’ll easily result in new, innovative ways of telling your story. Although I recently read that German filmmakers particularly get into Hollywood mainly because they can make low-cost movies that look like really expensive movies. Well, that’s flattering, isn’t it?

JHS: What would you say to men and women who deal with people telling them to “give up video games.”

It truly is hard to provide a general answer to that one because it depends on the situations. Generally I would recommend to try and make those people understand what gaming means to you. Know why they believe games are stupid and show that you understand them also and take their concerns sincerely. Don’t just switch to retaliation mode. When I was in college, I used to speak with my mom and dad about the games I was looking forward to play and what I found fascinating about them. Usually I could make them relate to that somehow.

JHS: Based on the lack of success of some major movies, it appears very difficult to take the concept of a video game and turn it into a film – with only a few movies making an effort to “get into” the daily life of BEING a gamer. What was your experience in this regard?

I believe there are two kinds of game movies… Adaptations and Sci-Fi movies. Adaptations tend to be awful OR just solid action movies with the game’s name in the title… And so yeah, there is little films about real gamers – to be honest I can’t name a single one. And I’m quite in wonder about that!

But it’s difficult, and I think that the people who make it must know video games as completely as movies….My point is that to really learn from Video games as a medium, filmmakers have to understand how a game tells its story, what can be translated and what can not.

JHS: Exactly what does WOW present that hardly any other game on the face of the planet offers?

To tell the truth – you can find a couple of games on earth I have not played yet! Nevertheless, I think that WoW did and does a terrific job at making hardcore gaming available to many individuals. Back in EverQuest days, MMORPGs were a very exclusive genre that even the majority of gamers didn’t know or love. These days you are going to raid with people who wouldn’t even look at themselves a real gamer. And yes, maybe that is a piece of pioneer work that hardly any other game can repeat again.

If you’re searching for a unique video game show which brings Holywood and video game together, then The Jace Hall Show is the right one for you. It presents movies like World of Warcraft movie as well as the discussion of World of Warcraft fans.
